White House announces a jobs summit on Dec. 3
By Michael A. Fletcher

The Obama administration announced plans Monday to hold a forum on jobs and economic growth at the White House on Dec. 3, after which the president will go on the road to demonstrate his concern about the nation's rising jobless rate.

With the nation's unemployment rate at its highest level in 26 years, President Obama plans to bring together CEOs, small business owners and financial experts to sound out ideas for continuing to expand the economy and create jobs.

"During these difficult economic times, we have a responsibility to consider all good ideas to encourage and accelerate job creation in this country," Obama said in a statement.

The president outlined plans for the forum before leaving for Asia last week, but at the time had not nailed down a date. The White House said Obama would follow the forum with a visit to Allentown, Pa., for the first stop of what the White House is calling a Main Street Tour, which will take him to across the country over several months.

1. Talk is cheap

If the President is really interested in creating jobs then he will put up some substantial $$$$$ to stimulate the creation and growth of small businesses. And he will make it possible for small business owners/employees to have readily affordable comprehensive healthcare.

Personally I don't expect it to happen. He's just another bought and sold corporate president.

2. Take it somewhere else, mac

Being negative about economic policy ain't welcome in these parts.

3. We the People got Wall Street's IOUs to the tune of $24 Trillion.

So, WtP really got a lot less than nothing out of the TARP deal.

As for jobs, the pukes and their Blue Dog toadies say, with good reason, there's no money.
